Usher: King of PopTarts?

3/8/2007 1:21 PM PST BY TMZ STAFF

Usher revealed just what a huge star he is, during an outing in New York on Wednesday. While some have labeled Usher Michael Jackson's successor as the new King of Pop, it appears the R&B star is taking weight cues from another Jackson: Miss Jackson, if you're nasty!

Hopefully, the bundled up crooner will be hitting the gym again to deflate those trademark abs, just like Janet (on the right) did. Until then, he can at least count on the extra poundage to keep him warm on those cold New York streets.
